Growing up, I never went through Halloween without listening to "Monster Mash", "Halloween", "The Time Warp", and the entirety of the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack on repeat. It was a ritual for me to honor Halloween with music, movies, decor, conjuring spirits, going to haunted houses, getting into mischief with friends, and dressing up.

I already have you "scary monsters and super creeps" covered on movies you should be watching this month. But aside from movies, music is a key ingredient to the Halloween holiday (and everything else in life, honestly). I compiled a killer and spooky playlist to get you in the spirit. Gather your fiends, friends, and witches for a night of fright complete with this ghoulish mix.

A woman of curious nature, my name is Shayna. I am wild & reserved. Humbled & proud. Quiet & clamorous. Strange & familiar. I live in the trees of New England typing away as lifestyle blogger. You can always find me with a coffee cup in one hand and a book in the other.

Blogging since 2005, I’ve had an innumerable amount of blogs on a vast number of platforms. Finally, I’ve found one to call home: The Lovely Cicada. This blog is a piece of myself I extend to you.
